Behind the boards: How Alba PCB Group and Arduino carry Made-in-Italy innovation to life

Our manufacturing accomplice Alba PCB Group, headquartered in Mogliano Veneto, Italy, invitations you to take a peek behind the scenes with a fantastic documentary by Italian director Massimiliano Finazzer Flory, A Completely different Alba: Arduino, an Italian Invention. Uncover the entrepreneurial imaginative and prescient and values that assist Arduino merchandise stand out on the earth: distinctive high quality requirements, look after element (“all the way down to the micron”), inventive options that enable even a small enterprise to compete with big producers overseas.

The movie – which was not too long ago chosen for the third Movie Impresa Award – presents an insider’s view of the manufacturing course of behind the printed circuit board (PCB), the muse of each digital product. It additionally shares extra concerning the historical past of each Arduino and Alba PCB Group, and concerning the philosophy we align on. 

Certainly, this partnership is about extra than simply manufacturing: it’s about shared dedication to constructing one of the best instruments to empower individuals on their journey. For Arduino, this implies creating accessible, open-source options that make advanced expertise easy for everybody. For Alba PCB Group, flexibility, creativity, aesthetics, and performance come collectively to carry to life customized options that meet shopper’s wants, turning technological challenges into alternatives.

“Alba PCB Group represents the form of industrial craftsmanship that’s a part of Italy’s DNA – the place precision meets creativity. Working with them jogs my memory that innovation isn’t nearly what’s new, however about constructing on historical past and doing issues properly. This documentary captures that spirit fantastically: a celebration of the individuals, processes, and values that form expertise from the bottom up.” — Massimo Banzi, Co-Founding father of Arduino

Collectively, injecting good design and prime quality in each step, combining human abilities with mechanical precision, we attempt to go the additional mile so as to add a significant chapter to the historical past of expertise – standing on the shoulders of giants, like Olivetti.
